I’m Murshed Hussain, a self-published author in Regina.

Why I write

I’m Murshed Hussain. I publish under Life’s Little Corner Publishing from Regina, Saskatchewan. I started writing fiction because the stories I most wanted to read kept not getting written. I started writing nonfiction because the books I most needed at hard moments in my own life were either too long, too academic, or quietly contemptuous of the people they were supposedly helping.

I have worked in settlement services in Saskatchewan for more than a decade, and my newcomer handbook, Your First Year in Canada, comes straight from that work.

Three years and several abandoned drafts later, I had something that worked: a six-phase pipeline that takes a novel from premise pressure-test through KDP launch, with AI handling the parts of the work that AI handles best and a human still doing the parts that only a human can do.

The first books out of that pipeline are the Shattered Crown trilogy (Awakening, Ascension and Dominion), followed by The Echo Adaptation and The Riven Saga. More fiction series are in production behind them.

I write with AI, and say so

When I started telling other writers what I was doing, the responses split into two camps. One camp wanted nothing to do with AI in fiction on principle. The other camp wanted the exact files, the exact prompts, the exact 47-word banned list, the continuity matrix template, the cover-iteration framework. Not theory. The actual artifacts.

That second camp is who the AI Novelist system is for. It is the same pipeline I use, packaged so another author can pick it up, point it at their own premise, and produce a publishable novel in roughly 90 days of disciplined work. Not magic. Not a shortcut around the work. A way to do the work that doesn’t crush you.

Two shelves

Two tracks, one voice. The fiction is dark, character-driven epic fantasy with a magic-rank system and a moral palette that refuses to make villains cartoons. The nonfiction is short, practical, written for the reader who wants to act on what they read tonight, not bookmark it and forget — practical titles on newcomer life, midlife careers and minimalism.
